@Coach_ChadJohn @RedWavePress If they are elite at 18 or 19 it matters. Everyone hides behind the we want our kid home another year. This usually happens because the kid is way behind like this one. Dad can’t hold back the laughter of is MLB dreams!

@RedWavePress @SteveBournazia1 What is the negative to holding them back? They will graduate at a more mature age. Parents get to keep them at home an extra year. They will be more ready for college. What's the drawback?

SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions. William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.” 
“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.” CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!

@denverrefugee Teams are now not playing but still practicing year around. Set the bats down for a few months people.

@littlemann17 I’d just take smooth online game play.

I’m not gunna lie guys. I would respect SDS more if they just came out and said “we don’t know how to fix the market bots , Josh hader and king, the servers, cheaters, shrinkage and every other problem” instead of this constant radio silence.

@SydneyClark___ @RuralTF @KSNTSports Him!

"To have a state lead time going into the state meet is a huge confidence boost." @RuralTF Christian Hartman-Babb ran a 10.36 in the 100m to set a new PR and the top time in the state. @KSNTSports

@SC_Track_XC @SC_Mustangs Him!

Coming in as Regional CHAMP in the 100m Dash, congrats to Kaeden Nienke for punching his ticket to State!

Coming in 3rd and as Regional CHAMP, in Shotput, congrats to Eliana and Allison for punching their tickets to State!

@RyenRuybal The recruitment of May 1-July birthday kids is real. Our May 5th son just plays 11U we don’t care.

Youth baseball tournaments are the only events you’ll see coaches encourage kids to play down and parents be okay with it all for a $3 ring. But wonder why they’re behind when they get to high school age tournaments and playing kids their age…. #ChallengeYourself

@kneand_ Damon then Mouse! Go Royals!!!

Favorite MURAL Program Card and why… GO!

@HighSchoolOT The sport that can be determined by raw ability can still slip in politics. Society is in trouble.

Mallard Creek boys track and field was disqualified for unsportsmanlike conduct after winning the 4x400 relay in the final event of the day. Had the result stayed, the Mavericks would have won the team state championship. Instead, they remained in second place.

@SunshineSoul9 @frjoshTX Let the delusion intoxicate you…

@efirner @frjoshTX I don’t need data. I’ve been a coach for homeschool students for years. Been homeschooling for 11+ years, coaching for 7+ years. Nice try tho…😆

Youth baseball/softball tournaments are a study in cultural anthropology. Families all day dutifully lugging around Academy carts, bored and miserable, sacrificing what could be true family leisure for the mythology of ambition, and paying for the privilege. It’s quite something.

@SunshineSoul9 @frjoshTX I think you need to check the data homeschool kids burnout at an alarming rate…

@efirner @frjoshTX Precisely why the elite athletes homeschool.

@JomboyMedia Wait a minute the rich kids lost?

Emotions boiled over as the No. 1 JUCO team’s 41-game winning streak came to an end

@KennedyTrackXC All to win a relay title

If private schools don't recruit, then why did I just watch an entire track staff walk into the public school state championships wearing their coaching gear?

@frjoshTX @jdflynn Keep it local and balance the teams.

@jdflynn As I sit sweating at a tournament, I don’t disagree with you. 🫠 We could totally do youth sports better.

Aaron Judge hit 10th in his Little League lineup. Now he’s one of the best hitters in baseball. Good reminder that development isn’t linear. Some kids peak early. Some develop later. Some completely change once confidence, strength, and belief catch up.

@Fred__Duncan Buddy I don’t have all day to scroll through that long of a post. Drugs fueled all of it.

@efirner Already mentioned, pay attention

How valuable is speed endurance without speed? Marita Koch is most known for her 47.60 world record in the 400m, but look at the speed she brought with her: 60m – 7.04 100m – 10.83 200m – 21.71 300m – 34.14 400m – 47.60 world record Her coach heavily valued speed and ran a

@EMAWCaleb Finally someone from the fanbase that is a realist!

Sorry for pocket watching but funniest part of Gene Taylor saying 18 million dollars is enough to field a competitive football team is the fact we have Avery, Linkon and Wendell Gregory. How much you think the rest of the roster is being paid?

@BBGreatMoments Boggs over Brett what a joke

Top 10 Best Pure Hitters Ever. who's missing?

@kneand_ If it’s like the live series I won’t have to change my 3rd base the rest of the gaming cycle.

How’s this card play? Any dread lag? Are you all liking this card?
